Lump under one incision

[Thinkingthinner1109 485]

I am two weeks and 2 days post op. Started back to work on Monday. I am feeling pretty good, I make it through the day not hurting and am getting in Protein and fluids. Monday night I noticed a lump under one of my incisions. It is quite palpable. I have an appt with my surgeon this morning for him to look at it. But I was wondering if any one else had this? It is not flat feels more like a chestnut. Kinda roundish feeling.

I have heard several people talk about having a lump under their incisions, I'm not sure how big they were, I'm sure you are fine!

It could be scar tissue forming or a small infection starting. Best to have it checked out to be sure. Okay!

Ugh sitting at the doctor after two days back at work with work the size of Mt Everest waiting for me.

Yep. I have one still after 11 months but it's getting smaller now. Feels like a mosquito bite sometimes. Probably a bit of scar tissue. Worth having it checked tho if its a concern.

I am 19 days post op and I have two small roundish lumps afew inches above belly button on either side of stomach. Don't know what they are. Seeing doc on Wed. Sounds like your situation.

I have that on the one where my drain was located. It's just scar tissue which isn't a surprise since I tend to keloid.

I had a small bump under the edge of one incision. No pain, no redness, just a bump. 4 months post-op, it's gone. I did some occasional massage with coconut oil off and on once I was healed and that may/may not have helped. I'm fair skinned, 47, and scar easily.

Good for you getting it checked out - better to be safe than sorry!
